We are staying in a beautiful little bungalow with a small garden. Free morning coffee is provided. So, we sat first thing morning sipping coffee in the sunshine and playing on the double swing seat!
We set off towards the centre to investigate and stopped off for the most wonderful lunch on the way. First stop, the hill tribe museum.
Interestingly, last night at the walking street market we saw thousands of tourists. At the hill tribe museum, we saw 2! There was us thinking people came to northern Thailand to learn about traditional hill tribe culture...
The museum gave us a wonderful insight into the different hill tribes and their activities. We spent quite a while admiring their traditional skills and learning about their beliefs.
Following our lesson, we headed to the river for a romantic walk with the local joggers for company. It was a lovely area, packed with tennis courts and 'posh' houses!
Our evening adventure took us to a less well known night market. We looked up the location and went to find it. We arrived, nothing there! So, we asked a local, who wasn't quite sure and another chap, who assured us it was 'that way' .... only 1km. We set off walking. After a while we asked directions again. At first the lady had no idea but eventually she remembered and wrote some Thai down for us to show people. Eventually, we arrived! We ate some tiny leaves stuffed with herbs and spices, yummy, and had a good look around.
It appears we had walked in a huge square to find the market and it was just behind where we had started!
